For something to be considered a science it has to have some sort of study or observance to explain something that has gone without definition. An example of something that is not a science is the ancient Egyptians. They were known to use poppy seed as a painkiller but that was it. They saw that it had effects and therefore utilized those effects. This did not meet the requirements of a science because they did not seek to explain WHY it was happening or how. That is the key ingredient in any science, to explain WHY or HOW something is doing what it is.
